About La Vicalanda Gran Reserva

La Vicalanda Gran Reserva is a red wine from the Rioja region produced by Bodegas Bilbaínes. This wine is made using Tempranillo (100%) grapes, a typical grape of the region.

The vineyards that produce the grapes to make La Vicalanda Gran Reserva are situated in the small municipality of Haro, a locality with a strong heritage linked with wine.

The local climate has atlantic and continental influences and is perfect for growing grapes.  The soils are calcareous,gravelly and poor in organic matter, all characteristics that enhance the flavor of fruit.

The vines are planted using a goblet pruning system and in a way that ensures the vines maximum possible exposure to the sun. During the production of the wine, agriculture carried out is sustainably and aims to intervene as little as possible in order to not  interfere with the natural processes. 

At the winery, the grapes, after being destemmed, are incubated and left to ferment with a long maceration. The grapes first undergo alcoholic fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation. The second fermentation takes place in medium roast French oak barrels from Allier for 12 months on its lees. After this phase, La Vicalanda Gran Reserva is racked and is returned to the barrels where it rests for another 12 months.

Before being marketed, La Vicalanda Gran Reserva is aged for 3 more years in the bottle.

Bodegas Bilbaínas is the oldest bottling company in the Rioja region. Founded in 1904 by Santiago de Ugarte, the winery has the largest expanse of vineyards in the Haro locality, with their vineyards spanning 250 hectares.

Its velvety entry gives way to a balanced and harmonious progression, offering substantial body and remarkable persistence that leaves a lasting impression.
 
2016 La Vicalanda Gran Reserva 2016 is a red wine that on the nose offers deep and complex aromas reminiscent of ripe black fruits, accompanied by toasted notes and balsamic and floral nuances resting on a subtly mineral background. The palate is fleshy, well-structured, with velvety tannins and the elegance that comes from years of aging. A red wine that retains good acidity. Long, warm and spicy.
2011 La Vicalanda Gran Reserva 2011 is a mature, complex and structured red wine. An excellent vintage that gave this wine the ideal balance between maturity and freshness, with just the right maturity and a good acidity for its long ageing. On the nose, the aromas of ripe red fruit stand out perfectly fused with the smoky, tobacco and roasted notes, on a very elegant spicy background. In the mouth, it is velvety, ample and with a very long finish.
2009 Minerality and full-bodied. Exhibits a harmonious warmth, extensive and intricate.

Alluring garnet hue with brick-red tinges.

Distinct varietal characteristics, with hints of raspberry and licorice. Evocative of its time in oak.
